If you've ever seen cats heave a fur ball before, you know there's not much passiveness about it. So, I ask, Cuttino, what was that 1qt of drives ending in lame dishing after missing your midranges. Missing your early shots happens, but don't get passive. He got so passive on the early pnr's Rudy abondaned them to run 2 Shakes...but ISO won't work with a passive player. This has to be the ugliest double double I've ever seen for a player. I am not apologizing for Cat tonight. Worst game of the year for him, albeit the rebounding. Moving on to Francis. My question is: did Francis get winded in Mile High in the 4th, or was it total lack of demanding the ball from the coach, or were we caught trying to get Mo' involved late and Francis deferred to that. There is a fine line between Rudy ignoring Francis and the floor general not demanding the ball. It was pretty obvious with Mobley's lame dishing that he was passive and willing to defer. Francis did great in the 3rd and got us back into the game, but he didn't demand the ball in the 4th. Again, was he winded, or what?
He took about two to three hard hits that might have gotten him winded. ------------------ SUCK POLICE!!!!!! To point out individuals or teams that have managed to reach the pinnacle of SUCKINESS!!!!! ----- THE VIKINGS SUCK BIG TIME!
Francis may have run out of Oxygen at mile high? Mo WAS playing pretty well and has a history of playing well against the Nuggets, but I agree in that Francis should've got more ball! I'm just glad you didn't try and defend Mobley for this game HeyP Although one bad game doesn't write him off as a bargain basement scorer! ------------------
Francis has got to learn how to drive and score without getting killed. Too many times, he is taking hard fouls when he penetrates. When he goes airborne, he needs to make sure the landing gear is down ------------------ When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view. -- Ella Wheeler Wilcox
